Cal led 12-0 after four first-half field goals by Matt Anderson. The first was a 43-yarder after a lengthy drive stalled at UCLA's 26-yard line. The Bears added to their lead when Anderson kicked a 25-yard field goal early in the second quarter. They went up 9-0 when Anderson converted from 44 yards.
Later in the second quarter, Cal got the ball on its 1-yard line after a well-placed punt by Stefan Flintoft. The Bears drove 95 yards to the UCLA 6 before Anderson came on to kick a 24-yard field goal.
UCLA cut Cal's lead to 12-7 when Fafaul threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Kenneth Walker III early in the third quarter. Cal responded with a 75-yard scoring drive to go up 19-7 on a 1-yard run by Malik McMorris.
The Bears built the lead to 26-7 when Webb threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Duncan midway through the third quarter. The score came after a penalty negated a 71-yard touchdown return on an interception by UCLA’s Nate Meadors.
Webb threw another short touchdown pass to Bug Rivera early in the fourth quarter to give the Bears a 36-10 lead.
